Well, lately I have been playing around with VMWare Workstation 6.5, and I must admit that it looks and runs really nicely. The performance seems to exceed that of Virtual PC on some points IMHO. But Virtual PC is completely free.

I have also installed Virtual Server 2005 R2 EE (Enterprise Edition) again for testing purposes. I have created these virtual machines so that I can test products, programs and a few other things. I also intend to learn a few SQL 2005 things in the near future so I needed a system that I could ruin completely without getting worried.

I’ll try to post my findings on which program I liked the most later on. I also know that I can play around with VMWare server, but I am giving Virtual Server 2005 a head-start.

The server-editions have the advantage of being able to install it on one machine and then running the client on another. This way my main machine won’t get too tainted or bogged down.

Apart from the above geeky stuff I am doing quite fine myself. The company-trip (for work yes) to Baveno, Italy was great and an amazing experience. It did however mean that I have been working for 12 days or so in a row (with a gap here and there of a few hours) Today I also worked so yeah, no rest for the restless I guess

So all is fine and dandy here. I already look forward to the next weekend since I’ll be going to a birthday-party at that time so… woohooo!
